Jiuyou Demon Palace arranged for the goddess and Yao Qian to come to the imperial capital to do five things.
But now there are two things that have fallen short of success, both of which were reported as failures.
Now listening to the meaning of the goddess's words...it seems that even the third thing is not far from failure.
Daozi Yao Qian couldn't help but frown, "Does the goddess already know the identities of those three people?"
The goddess stood in the sea of flowers, her figure hazy, and she smiled bitterly, "Three warriors wearing golden masks, two top sword cultivators, and one magic cultivator... is there any need to guess?"
"In the entire imperial capital, besides Lin Bai, Lord Wolf Lord, Chen Yule, the holy son of the Chen family, and Yi Song, the holy son of the Tianxian Sect, are there anyone else?"
Daozi Yao Qian couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he heard the names of these three people.
The goddess continued: "Among the sword cultivators in the entire imperial capital, who can be stronger than Lin Bai and Chen Yule?"
"Who among the Chu Kingdom's arts can surpass the Tianxian Sect's attainments?"
Yao Qian narrowed his eyes, thought carefully, and said angrily: "I didn't expect it was the three of them! No wonder they have such sophisticated methods."
Taoist disciple Yao Qian said to the goddess: "When Lord Wolf Lord Lin Bai first emerged in Chu State, we originally intended to use Chen Yule as a sword to deal with Lin Bai."
"Unexpectedly, on the banks of the Baoyue River, Chen Yule was defeated by Lin Bai. Not only did he not hate Lin Bai for this, but the two of them also developed a sense of heroism."
"This made our plan aborted."
The goddess sighed softly: "Chen Yule is different from ordinary people and never takes the ordinary path. This may be the reason why he can become one of the top swordsmen in Chu State!"
When Lin Bai first appeared in Chu State, Chen Yule was defeated by Lin Bai in a battle by the Baoyue River.
Later, after Lin Bai's rise, Jiuyou Demon Palace believed that Lin Bai would become their resistance in the Chu country.
Then he deliberately instigated the feud between the two sword cultivators Chen Yule and Lin Bai.
Jiuyou Demon Palace used the secrets left in the Chen family for this purpose, but Chen Yule not only did not hate Lin Bai for this, but instead felt a hero's pity for Lin Bai.
This made the plan of Jiuyou Demon Palace come to an end.
Without the obstruction of Chen Yule, Lin Bai almost had smooth sailing and established a firm foothold in Chu State.
The goddess sighed softly: "Lin Bai, the Wolf Marquis, and Chen Yule, the holy son of the Chen family, these two are geniuses in this world!"
"Now we have the help of the Tianxian Sect's most outstanding genius since the sect was founded, 'Yi Song'."
"Plus the old witch from the Holy Lotus Palace who has returned after a hundred thousand years of reincarnation."
"These four people are already extremely troublesome."
"The most important thing is... the madman saint son of Fantian Sect, the swordsman saint son of Qijue City, the little devil of Baitian Sect, and the little sword god of Dingtian Sword Sect all have good friendship with Lin Bai."
"Hey, what happened to this world?"
"Why are the people who are against the Nine Nether Demon Palace all siding with Lin Bai?"
"So many difficult characters, all gathered together?"
The goddess sighed repeatedly.
Taoist disciple Yao Qian felt dizzy when he heard the names announced by the goddess.
"Then what should we do next, goddess?" Yao Qian asked, "Are we still going to take care of the Nanshan clan?"
The goddess said: "The Nanshan clan must take care of it. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know how many more years we will have to wait."
"After all, Jiuyou Demon Palace has put a lot of effort into the Nanshan clan!"
Daozi Yao Qian nodded repeatedly, "Although we have not done these three things well, we have already done the fourth thing."
"The twenty-first prince has fallen into our hands. All we need to do is pry open his mouth and get the key to the treasure."
The fourth thing that the goddess and Taoist Yao Qian did in the imperial capital was to find the key to the treasure.
"Speaking of this matter, you'd better hurry up!" the goddess warned: "The Zhaoxing Division will soon find out the whereabouts of the twenty-first prince!"
"Before the Zhao Xingsi and other forces in the imperial capital find the twenty-first prince, you'd better find the treasure key."
Daozi Yao Qian nodded, "But the twenty-first prince is stubborn by nature. I'm afraid it won't be easy to pry his mouth open."
"The twenty-first prince is a literati. They have something called the 'literary character'. They would rather die than surrender, which is indeed very difficult." said the goddess.
"I'll leave this matter to you."
"I'm going to report the situation in the imperial capital to the elders of the Demon Palace. I guess... I won't be able to avoid a scolding."
The goddess sighed bitterly.
Taoist disciple Yao Qian sighed: "My subordinates are incompetent and let the goddess suffer."
The goddess shook her head and said: "I am the goddess responsible for many things in the imperial capital of Chu."
"If you have merit, I will be the first to receive it."
"If there is a punishment, I should naturally be the first to receive it!"
Daozi Yao Qian smiled bitterly and nodded.
There was silence in the sea of flowers. Daozi Yao Qian silently left the sea of flowers. After the goddess picked a rose flower, she turned around and disappeared into the depths of the sea of flowers.
…
Imperial capital, royal palace.
Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair, raised his hand to disperse the water curtain in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "I thought those three little guys Lin Bai, Chen Yule, and Yi Song would go to the Yueding Tower to fight to the death with the warriors from the Northern Territory today."
"Unexpectedly, they were not fooled."
"I thought there would be a good show to watch, so I called you all, but... the show didn't happen!"
Emperor Chu shook his head and sighed bitterly.
In the quiet golden palace, next to the beam of divine light shining on the dragon chair, a figure dressed as a scholar appeared.
Astonishingly, he is laughing at the common people.
There were many figures swaying in the surrounding darkness, but they did not come to the light, but hid themselves in the darkness.
Xiao Cangsheng said: "The fact that they didn't go naturally shows that they are very smart."
"If you go, you will be fooled."
Emperor Chu smiled and nodded.
Someone said in the darkness: "Chen Yule is a swordsman. Although Yi Song is smart, he is a bit arrogant. Although Lin Bai has a lot of experience and deep scheming, he is not very good at playing tricks."
"In my opinion, someone is definitely guiding the three of them behind their backs this time!"
"And the person who gave them guidance must have a great background!"
Emperor Chu asked the man in the darkness: "How can I see it?"
The man responded: "How can a person who can control the Lord Wolf, the Holy Son of the Chen Family, and the Holy Son of the Tianxian Sect have such a small background?"
"If I am so beautiful, can I make these three arrogant saints obey their advice?"
Emperor Chu nodded slightly and asked with a smile: "Then who do you think is the person who advises them?"
The man replied: "I don't know, but this person is definitely not simple!"
Emperor Chu smiled again and said, "We'll be here today, everyone, go ahead!"
Laughing Cangsheng and the figures in the darkness bowed their hands to Emperor Chu, turned around and disappeared into the golden palace.
After everyone left, Emperor Chu asked with a smile: "You should know who is advising Lin Bai behind the scenes, right?"
In the darkness, a majestic and indifferent voice echoed, "Chao Yushi!" Emperor Chu smiled, "It is indeed him!"
